Could it shake the entire Milky Way?
What a powerful woman she is!
Gu Jueye felt a surge of curiosity about Ruan Mengli. If she didn't have a face exactly like Qian Mo's, perhaps he wouldn't have been so curious about her.
"Elder Buyi, has there been any internal conflict on Yirou Planet? It seems that Ruan Mengli is no longer on Yirou Planet."
As he recounted this, Gu Jueye stared at the elderly man in front of him, a man over seventy years old with a calm and serene demeanor.
The other party did not show the slightest surprise, which suggests that he knew some inside information.
"According to your surface dating, Ruan Mengli has been missing for over a hundred years."
Upon hearing this number, Gu Jueye's heart suddenly trembled.
More than a hundred years?
In the context of Earth years, human lifespan doesn't even reach that number. Someone of her status and position, having disappeared for so long, must have already experienced internal strife, right?
Gu Jueye finally understood why the Yirou Star People were so eager to find a woman who looked like Ruan Mengli.
Because this woman is the foundation of Yirou Star, if something happens to her, then the people on those planets they conquered before will not let go of this planet that oppressed them.
Moreover, without the existence of this God of War, Planet Yirou would likely face racial annihilation.
With this in mind, most of the mystery has been solved.
"Why did she suddenly disappear? As the Goddess of War on Planet Yirou, her abilities were already extremely powerful. It shouldn't have been so easy for someone to harm her."
Elder Bu Yi shook his head and said calmly, "This matter involves the internal secrets of Planet Yi Rou. We only have business dealings with them. They would not spread such a confidential matter. The reason I know that this female war goddess is missing is because they are looking for something."
"What is that?"
"An energy stone. This stone contains very powerful magic. According to the envoy sent by Yirou Star, Mengli has been searching for this stone for thousands of years. Based on the magnetic field she sensed, this stone fell into the solar system and is currently very likely on Earth."
At this point, Buyi gave Gu Jueye a deep look.
"I remember that the Qi King's Ding was a stone that fell from the sky."
Gu Jueye's eyelids twitched. In fact, when he heard Buyi mention this energy stone, he subconsciously thought of the Gu family's treasure, the Qi King Cauldron.
A thousand years ago, the Qi King Ding fell from the sky during a great war.
At that time, the King of Qi was being pursued by the enemy and was cornered at a ravine with a sheer cliff. Just when there was nowhere to retreat, a thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a fireball fell from the sky, heading straight towards the enemy army.
The fireball crashed to the ground, causing a massive explosion that killed 80% of the thousands of enemy soldiers surrounding the valley entrance. The remaining survivors were also severely wounded and unable to fight back.
After his initial shock, King Qi quickly calmed down and immediately ordered his only hundred elite soldiers to draw their swords and fight.
Within the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, all one thousand cavalrymen had perished in the canyon.
This battle was even recorded in the official history after the establishment of the new dynasty.
In order to highlight the King of Qi's bravery and skill in battle, the fact that the meteorite fell and killed the enemy soldiers was concealed. Instead, it was said that it was an auspicious omen from heaven, and that the King of Qi had used the power of the gods to kill a thousand enemy soldiers with a hundred elite soldiers, thus making a name for himself.
As for the fact that the meteorite fell and killed 80% of the soldiers, only the descendants of the Gu family knew the details.
After King Qi pacified the southern border, he tried to unravel the mystery of this stone, seeking out countless extraordinary people and experts, but he never understood what made this stone so powerful until his death.
However, having witnessed the stone's divine power firsthand, he always believed that this divine stone was a gift from heaven. He treasured it during his lifetime and even took it with him to his tomb after his death, so that it could accompany him underground forever.
"Is the Qi King's Cauldron the energy stone that Mengli was searching for?"
"That seems to be the case at present, but where exactly is the Qi King's Ding?"
After glancing at Elder Bu Yi, Gu Jueye fell into deep thought.
This reminded him of the first time he met Elder Buyi, who, upon seeing his own appearance, remarked that he resembled an old friend he had known long ago.
He said the two of them were almost identical, and if it weren't for the different eras, he would have thought his old friend had come back to life.
Considering that Elder Buyi had lived for over five thousand years and was so familiar with the Qi King's Ding, an idea formed in his mind.
This old man must know the Gu family's ancestors; that person is very likely the Prince of Qi!
"Elder Buyi, how do you know about the Qi King's Cauldron?"
The old man calmly glanced at Gu Jueye.
"Just say what you want to ask."
Gu Jueye said calmly, "When we first met, you said I looked a lot like an old friend of yours, and that if it weren't for the different eras, you would have almost thought I was that old friend of yours. This person is none other than the Qi King, the ancestor of the Gu family?"
Faced with Gu Jueye's questioning gaze, the elder in plain clothes seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.
"That's right. My old friend was none other than the Gu family's ancestor, King Qi. At that time, I was ordered to go to the surface for training. Seeing that the country was filled with smoke and war, I used my precognitive ability to predict that a war god with great military achievements would appear in the future. This person would lead a new emperor to overthrow the old dynasty and establish a new government."
"Is this the King of Qi?"
“Indeed, King Qi is a man blessed with good fortune. If he hadn’t been indifferent to the throne, it would have been within his grasp. I respected his character, so I came to his side as a strategist. I was in the camp when the meteorite fell and witnessed the shocking scene firsthand. I still can’t forget it.”
When the past was mentioned, Elder Buyi let out a deep sigh.
"King Qi was brave and resourceful, possessing both the talent of a general and the wisdom of a monarch. It was just a pity that he was too upright and had no interest in the infighting in the court. After the new emperor was enthroned, he volunteered to go to the southern border to guard it. Since then, he has never set foot in the capital again. It can be seen that when he fought bloody battles to carve out that land, it was indeed to bring peace and prosperity to the people."
